In former times, European countries could do this, because you've had a homogenous pool to sort out by ability.

Attempts to do this in the US produce results that appear racist.

Yes, that statement is the one that appears racist, because it is.

Try "it's almost as if being societally excluded for centuries is a predictor of social instability," which is both more accurate and descriptive of the problem we're trying to solve here.
